How long should the answers be for the 12pt and the 24pt questions.
I know that that obvious answer is use up all your time, but what is the least amount that they would expect from you?
How many words, how many paragraphs etc?

for AS level you only need about a 1 PAGE [ so one side ] and a bit as you only need around 3 points + a conclusion.
for the 24 marker you need around double this, so two sides and a bit .
well no sorry to say i did not get an A* but i'm actually doing my retake soon and to be honest if you write alot more than that your probably just waffling . does this make more sense now ? soz if i wasnt so clear

For AS its about 1 and 1/2 pages for the 12 mark and about 2 pages for the 24 mark, for A2 you get two 45 mark questions so that is splitting your time evenly and writing about 4 or 4 and 1/2 pages. But I guess it depends on how big or small your writing is. Hope this helps!

Me, and I'm crying over it. Hasn't been 1906-1914 for 4 years in a row and January sittings. Not sure if its their tradition or that it just must show up now

I'd love some help myself! I only have 1 more day to revise and I haven't got a clue on what to do!

But 1906-14 is the easiest part!!!! :O and I'll help you

Wow thanks! And I also think it's the easiest part, so I hope it shows up!
Do you want to discuss it all tomorrow or what?
I'd really need some help, especially on 14-40 years
40-54 I decided not to do at all, there is so much to learn there TT
But yea, only 3 of those 4 periods show up, and I'm hoping one of them is the 1906-14! I really suck at the other 2

You can't gamble! I'm up to discuss It anytime, I'm just doing past paper questions, have you done any? Damn so you need help from 1914-40? And you can't miss 40-51!? :O so wait what periods do you think will come up on wednesday? I'll post a link to you, it's a revision pack, all you have to do is create a login, trust me it's useful!

Thanks! Well I can't really do it in a single day! I will probably have to retake it in summer (
I have answered some of the previous questions, but only for my other unit, I just cannot do anything with this one, I been reading and re-reading, trying to memorise and all... but I fail.
There are 4 periods
1906-1914
1914-1929
1929-1940
1940-1954

3 of those will come up, and you choose 2 out of 3 periods, each period has 2 questions within it. I just look at the questions from past papers... and don't know what to say, and I am so tired now after my politics exam... I am very thankful that you have replied to this thread however, if you have time tomorrow, I'd love to go like heavyload on it with you, I will actually be fine even with a B on this unit as long as I can get an A on my other one, but even a B seems like a hard task now TT

Could you help me with the structure and template for the 12 and 24 markers PLEASE!

I've got 4 this month. 2 in history and 2 in politics. The other History Unit that I'm taking is Life in Nazi Germany 1933-1945. I actually love the whole idea of History, I even enjoy reading the Britain one, and watching Andrew Marr series on it! I am also doing cold war in my A2 unit, and I love all this material, but this British unit is bugging me.

Yeah I can help you with the structure, I however have no information on Britain whatsoever, and will probably end up going into the exam hall not writing anything at all. I am actually considering of not going at all and revising on my other units instead

As for tomorrow I am ready whenever, but we have to do it over skype or something I don't know. I have some notes you might wanna have a look at regarding Britain, although I still don't know why I didn't study it.

Are you a private candidate like me or you had a tutor helping you with this unit?

Also that link you gave me has like over 1000 dates and events in it... there is like no way you can memorise that

Also you wouldn't believe me which unis I'm thinking of applying to... with my readyness for History... it's just a joke...

Oh thats okay, hey that's similar to me it's just I'm doing the longer erm may unit from 1918-1945 -.- and it covers more stuff like Antisemitism, holocaust and hitler. Haha what a coincidence I'm doing the cold war unit too!

I need help on how to answer the essay question and structure/template to use.

Come on man im pretty sure your not in that bad a of a situation, just go revise tonight and tomorrow by doing past papers and going through the content, or If you really haven't prepared then take a gamble?

im in my 3rd year of college I re-took AS last year

LOL! It's 82 minis flash cards! That's very used! It has all the key information.
